Reviews

""Great tale, well told."" - Ian, Signal Hill, CA ""Living on da Big Island for two years in the early 2000's I learned very quickly about the differences from the mainland. The main character's move from New York celebrity to kama'ina is a delightful tale of transitions with plenty of local color included! What a refreshing look at many of the people who make Hawaii Island my favorite place!"" - An Amazon Customer ""Fun from beginning to the end. Very light hearted read about a hardcore New Yorker who really begins to grow on you as her life takes her to ""da Big Island"". Her escapades turn the island into a warm, friendly, home but not without some bumps and bruises along the way. Very enjoyable and not easy to put down. Leaves me wanting more."" - Bud on Amazon.com ""From Da Big Island is a delightful debut novel. I'm simply in love with Ruth, the protagonist. Once Ruth hits the island, I find myself smiling for the rest of the book. Talk about a fish out of water. Hope there's a sequel."" - Sergio on Amazon.com ""Fantastic combination of characters and family values. The novel should be turned into a television series."" - Sonja (84), Palmdale, CA ""The book From da Big Island by author Bill Hutchinson is a delightful and entertaining little book that I read through in almost one sitting while I had a long wait. He captures the beauty of Hawaii and the friendliness of its people so well that I had the strong urge to pack my suitcase and head of to the islands.It warmed my heart on a cold January day in Colorado, and I hope it will do the same for other readers."" - Erika (82), Colorado Springs, CO ""My favorite characters in the book were Auntie and William... The world definitely needs more positive and uplifting literature... I truly enjoyed exploring the Hawaiian culture through the eyes of each character. After years of reading [John] Grisham, [Joseph] Finder and [Jack] Higgins, I was very pleased to refresh my mind with such meaningful content. Thank you for your creativity."" - Melissa (39), Long Beach, CA ""Loved it all. How a high powered New York reporter can become a laid back regular person, finally able to enjoy her life? Much better. Great story. We can all learn from it! A good read!!"" - V. K. Kristoffersen, Hagerstown, MD ""The education of the uptight, successful New Yorker in the life and culture of Hawaii. Lovingly and thoughtfully written. It's da bomb!"" - Rick Lacy on Amazon.com
